I READ with considerable interest the articles on the formation of the Marlborough Development Trust. Could someone shed a little more light on this organisation.

Who decided such a body was necessary?

What are its terms of reference?

Who selected the committee members?

Who are the committee members?

Who is the committee accountable to?

I was under the impression that we had elected representatives to look after the development of the Marlborough area or does this mini quango have some specific expertise that our elected representatives do not.
